Rounding out a busy awards-season week that included the Golden Globes and nominations from Hollywood’s directors and actors guilds, the Producers Guild of America announced the 10 films nominated for its best feature award on Friday. As expected, the group included “Oppenheimer” and “Barbie,” twinned box-office behemoths that have so far dominated awards season just as they ruled the summer.
Here is the producers’ list of feature-film nominees:
“Barbie”
“Maestro”
The producers organization is considered the group with the best track record of presaging the Oscars. Over the last five years, only six movies snubbed by the this guild went on to receive an Oscar nomination for best picture.
Three of those came just last year, when PGA picks “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” and “The Whale” were supplanted by eventual Oscar nominees “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “Triangle of Sadness” and “Women Talking.” Those substitutions illustrate the difference in sensibilities between the populist-leaning producers and Oscar voters, who are more inclined to support international and independent films.
It’s notable, then, that two international films — “Anatomy of a Fall” and “The Zone of Interest” — performed strongly enough with this group to edge out the kind of studio fare the PGA usually goes for. Their inclusion is a bad sign for on-the-bubble best-picture hopefuls like “The Color Purple,” “Air,” “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” and “May December.”
Only three films ran the board this week, earning top nominations from the producers, directors and actors guilds: “Oppenheimer,” “Barbie” and “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Those three will probably top the list of Oscar nominees, too.
The PGA winners will be announced in a ceremony on Feb. 25. Here are the rest of the guild’s nominations:
